Ooh, I don’t like … Ooh, I don’t like the sound of his breathing. I hope the surgeons can help open his nostril in the future. It seems like he’s tryiing strictly to breath through his nose rather than his mouth?

my sons breathing … my sons breathing and sleeping pattern mirrors this video- until he had gromits inserted and mucus drained from inside his ear. My sons ear canals are very small- a hereditary trait. He still has the problem of difficult with breathing, stopping breathing,gasping for breath, and snoring. The surgeon didn’t remove his adenoids and tonsils as planned- but his problem isn’t as severe now. I feel for you all

I pushed hard for … I pushed hard for his nostril to be opened, but that too is not an option. Any work to his nose will be delayed until his face develops more. Doing something now would cause more scar tissue and more problems for him long term.

He has had … He has had overnight sleep studys and seen many specialist. CPAP is not an option for him at 2 years old. Tonsils and adenoids are not an issue with his palate wide open and never having any infections or swelling… Doctors also strongly recommend children with cleft palate keep their adenoids for speech reason. Top recommendation at this point is a temp trach.

Why don’t they get … Why don’t they get an overnight sleep study on him. If it is obstructive sleep apnea, they can get him on CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine that blows positive airpressure that hold open his airway. Alot of times it is due to large tonsils and adenoids, which helps the problems if they are removed. OSA is very common and under treated.

Exactly the same … Exactly the same type stopping of breathing.
Maybe like mine as he grows his jaw will widen and adenoids and tonsils shrink will solve the problem fingers and toes crossed for peaceful nap time in days and nights for you lil one 🙂
